Louisiana Teacher and Male Student

(Prairieville, Louisiana) A 41-year-old teacher previously at Dutchtown High School, Sharon Suzonne Oleson, has been arrested for engaging in misdemeanor sexual conduct with one of her students, an 18-year-old male.

According to Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Tony Bacala, Oleson was charged with criminal sexual conduct between an educator and a student.

Oleson was charged with violating a recently enacted law that went into effect last August, the same month Oleson was hired at the school.

The statute makes certain sexual acts criminal, including inappropriate touching when done by an educator with a student who is 17 or 18 years old, Bacala said in a release.

Detectives speaking to the student during the course of the department investigation were told by the student that he and the teacher were involved romantically and had a physical relationship that involved kissing and fondling, according to Bacala.

Oleson was booked into custody at the Ascension Parish Jail and released on $10,000 bond.
